Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de présenter et de payer des factures sur un réseau informatique. Le système comprend un compte facturier, hébergé par un serveur d'un fournisseur de services de facturation (104), qui reçoit une facture envoyée par un facturier (106) comprenant des données de facture. Le fournisseur de services de facturation (104) est l'entité qui accepte et consolide les données de facturation provenant du facturier (106), publie les données et les achemine électroniquement vers le fournisseur de services aux consommateurs approprié (102). Le compte facturier formate automatiquement, à partir des données de facture, une facture destinée au consommateur (100). Le fournisseur de services aux consommateurs (102) est l'entité qui présente la facture au consommateur (100). Un serveur de documents, couplé au serveur (104) du fournisseur de services de facturation, reçoit la facture formatée et la met automatiquement en mémoire à un emplacement de mémoire. Le consommateur (100) accède à la facture mise en mémoire, qui s'affiche sur un terminal consommateur couplé au serveur de documents.

Title: System for sorting products according to their features and its method of operation
Inventor: LUDWIG JOERG
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 1998-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for sorting any desired pieces of products in dependence on criteria, and a method for operating the same. It is the object of the invention to provide a solution which permits a very fast at least three-channel fractionating of a product flow with a simultaneous mild treatment of products, at low expenditures for energy, and at a high wear resistance. The object is realized in that the products pass a first approaching zone, arrive in a second zone in which a separating element set into rotations by operation of a stepper-motor, including on its circumference with equidistantly spaced fingers, and which, in dependence on a respective control, transfers the products to be sorted into at least three further zones. A real-time image tracking system is provided which is adapted to capture the entire path of the products through the zones. The real-time image tracking system inputs individual product information of each single product such as at least one parameter as volume, speed, profile of parts, center of mass, defective spots, deflection characteristic, angular momentum, or the like into microprocessors and address arrays, respectively, and feeds said information into a main coordinate processor. The individual product information is adapted to be associated and addressable to each individual product. The output signals from said main coordinate processor control the stepper-motor and, thus, the separating element with single product related different senses of rotation and accelerations.

Abstract: Analyseur vectoriel de réseau (VNA) qui possède un premier générateur d'harmoniques multipliant un signal RF par un nombre impair M1 pour produire des signaux d'essai incidents et réfléchis reçus au niveau d'entrées de mélangeurs fournissant des signaux RF. Un second générateur d'harmoniques multiplie un signal d'oscillateur local (LO) par un nombre impair M2 décalé de 2 par rapport à M1 pour fournir des signaux à des entrées supplémentaires des mélangeurs fournissant des signaux IF. Les générateurs d'harmoniques produisant des harmoniques séparés par 2, un seul filtre enlève les harmoniques restants des signaux IF fournis par chaque mélangeur. Chaque générateur d'harmoniques comporte deux diodes à coupure brusque dont les extrémités opposées connectent le chemin de signal à la terre, lesdites diodes fonctionnant pour annuler les harmoniques pairs. Un premier coupleur fournit la sortie du premier générateur d'harmoniques aux mélangeurs, le premier coupleur ayant une taille minimale permettant à sa puissance de sortie d'augmenter avec la fréquence. Avec le premier générateur d'harmoniques ayant une puissance décroissant avec la fréquence et le premier coupleur ayant une puissance augmentant avec la fréquence, le signal d'essai VNA aura une réponse puissance-fréquence pratiquement plate. Des coupleurs supplémentaires ayant une taille minimale amènent les signaux d'essai incidents et réfléchis aux mélangeurs. Avec le second générateur d'harmoniques fournissant aux mélangeurs un signal LO à puissance décroissant avec la fréquence et les coupleurs supplémentaires fournissant une puissance augmentant avec la fréquence, les signaux IF provenant des mélangeurs auront également une réponse puissance-fréquence plate.

Patent EP-1029425-A1 (EP)
Inventor: STEINHAUSER LOUIS P
IPC: H05B3/10
Filed: 1998-11-06
Abstract: An electric, resistance element heater utilizes quartz as a sheath material and has a resistance (heating) element that is in intimate, substantially continuous contact with a surface of the quartz. This allows the heater to operate in any one or all of the three modes of heat transfer, namely, radiation, conduction and convection. Such intimate, substantially continuous contact of the resistance element is achieved by applying the element in direct contact with the quartz surface. This is accomplished by applying a heating circuit directly to the quartz surface, which heating element can be a foil element, or a thick or a thin film deposition element. The overall heater is formed by covering the heater element by a quartz sheath and attaching leads formed on the ends of the heater element to a source of electric energy. Sensors such as thermocouples, RTD's and the like can also be incorporated directly into the heater structure. Also, the heater can be fashioned into a variety of shapes.

Abstract: The antenna hold device comprises a transmitting and
receiving antenna which can be stored within the main body portion
of the antenna hold device, and a cylindrical-shaped antenna guide
for guiding the main body portion storage side of the transmitting
and receiving antenna. And, the present antenna hold device is
characterized by clearance eliminating means which, when the
transmitting and receiving antenna is guided to and stored in the
main body portion storage side of the antenna hold device,
eliminates a clearance between the above-mentioned antenna guide
and the leading end of the main body portion of the transmitting
and receiving antenna. Thanks to this structure, there can be
obtained an effect that, even when there arrives a receiving call
through vibrations, no vibration can be produced in the leading
end of the antenna main body portion and thus no strange sound
(irregular sound) can be generated.

its intended use, and the second zone is connected to a suction device. Thereby, the
membrane assembly is capable of maintaining a pressure differential between the second
zone and the first zone without permitting air to penetrate from said first zone to said
second zone. Further, the first surface of the membrane comprises at least a first region
and a second region, said regions differing in at least one physical surface property.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a leak reducing structure in a steam
turbine having high pressure (3), intermediate pressure (4), and low
pressure (5) turbine sections in a single casing (2), in which steam
leaking from the high pressure side to the intermediate pressure side is
recovered to be used effectively. The high pressure (3) intermediate
pressure (4), and low pressure (5) turbine sections are arranged along a
rotor (1) in an external casing (2). High-pressure steam (30) from a
high-pressure steam inlet port (6) passes through a nozzle chamber
formed integrally with a dummy ring (10), and flows into the high
pressure turbine (3) section to do work. On the other hand, some of
high-pressure steam attempts to leak from a seal portion of the dummy
ring (10) to the intermediate pressure turbine (4) section side.
However, the leaking steam flows from point X of an external pipe (20)
to point Y on the high pressure side to be recovered. Point X is set so
as to be a slightly higher pressure point than point Y, and the
difference in pressure is regulated by a pressure regulating valve (21).
Therefore, the leaking high-pressure steam is recovered and used
effectively, thereby preventing the decrease in performance.
